Exploring Drivers of Urban Expansion

, 2016
Spatial patterns in urban land development are linked with the level and type of economic activity. Here, we develop a statistical model to explore the relationship between the spatially explicit population density and the type of land use in a region. The relationship between the type of land use (urban/non-urban) and the level of economic activity is

Urban rapid transit network capacity expansion [PDF]

European Journal of Operational Research, 2008
This paper examines a multi-period capacity expansion problem for rapid transit network design. The capacity expansion is realized through the location of train alignments and stations in an urban traffic context by selecting the time periods. The model maximizes the public transportation demand using a limited budget and designing lines for each ...

Quantifying the drivers of urban expansion in Nepal

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020
The Tarai region of Nepal is regarded as the food bowl of Nepal, and yet urban areas have increased in size at an average annual rate of 12% for the 30 years since 1988/1989, largely at the expense of prime agricultural land. Nepal is recognized internationally as highly sensitive to food security with 40% of its population undernourished.

Road Expansion in Urban Area

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022
Abstract: The study was focused on determining the road expansion and network spread of a particular selected area (Kalinga institute of social studies) in Bhubaneswar city of Odisha state for which the urban development or urban sprawl took place, here the data is observed in between 15years of gap. The development or creation of road caused different

Spatiotemporal characteristics and determinants of urban expansion in China: perspective of urban agglomerations

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionUrban agglomerations (UAs) are core economic growth centres, and urban construction land is the main spatial carrier of economic growth. Urban expansion is a research hotspot, while previous studies have rarely compared the characters and ...

The Price of Precision: A Critical Review of Molecular Diagnostics in Glioma, From Guidelines to Global Disparities

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gliomas have undergone a profound redefinition over the past decade, transitioning from morphology‐based entities to biologically coherent diseases defined by molecular alterations. The 2021 WHO Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System and its 2022 update formalize this shift, establishing integrated diagnosis as the global ...
